Chapter 7 Beauty is in the bones, not in the skin



Seeing that Su Qingluan was keeping the secret, Su Xuanhe couldn't help but snort.

Seeing this, Su Xueyan stretched out her chubby white hand, patted Su Xuanhe's arm and said, "Brother, don't be so angry all the time. Everything I cook is delicious. Even dirt can be turned into something delicious by me!"

Given that Su Qingluan always managed to "turn blandness into deliciousness," Su Xueyan had become a complete apologist for her elder sister. Su Qingluan was so enraged she couldn't help but twitch her lips, "Making something delicious out of mud... doesn't have to be that way."

After all, if she really had to "eat dirt", that would be too tragic. Not to mention making dirt into something delicious... Do you really think she is an omnipotent god?

The three siblings bickered with each other for a while, and then the little girl Xueyan suddenly thought: "Sister, you haven't given us the prize yet!"

When Su Xuanhe heard this, he remembered that he had forgotten about this matter, so he turned his head to look at Su Qingluan.

"I'm ready, here they are!" He took out two things from behind him - two lifelike crickets made of straw.

Su Xuanhe obviously liked it very much. He quickly took one and played with it in his hand.

But Su Xueyan was a little unhappy and muttered in a low voice: "I don't like insects..."

Su Qingluan then remembered that Su Xuanhe had scared her to tears with insects, and quickly touched her furry buns: "I'm sorry, sister forgot that Xueyan doesn't like this. Then sister, can you make a wreath for our Xueyan?"

Su Qingluan had made a wreath for the little girl before, and the little girl liked it very much.

"Then..." Su Xueyan snuggled into Su Qingluan's arms softly, blinking her black eyes, and said in a baby voice, "Can I have two? One for my head and one as a bracelet!"

Wow, you are so beautiful at such a young age!

Su Qingluan sighed in her heart - such a little angel was acting coquettishly towards her!

Su Qingluan bowed to the cuteness faction without hesitation and nodded hurriedly: "Okay! As long as my Xueyan likes it, you can make as many as you want!"

As a result, when Su Qingluan had made two wreaths and was about to put them on her sister, she turned her head and found two children huddled together on the warm river bank next to her, fast asleep.

After all, they were just two children of seven and four years old. They had been running around looking for branches for so long, and now they were all wilted.

Su Qingluan smiled knowingly, put the wreath aside, and felt the cool breeze blowing from the river on a summer afternoon. She couldn't help but be a little absent-minded: How long had it been since she fell ill in her previous life that she sat by the river in a daze like this?

Although she had tried hard to adapt to this strange era since traveling through time, and was grateful to have regained her healthy body, at this moment, perhaps because the surroundings were too quiet, she suddenly felt a huge sense of loneliness, as if she was the only one left in the world.

"Oh no, now is not the time to be feeling down!" After an unknown amount of time, the burning sensation on the top of her head from the sunlight made Su Qingluan realize that she had been distracted. She quickly pulled herself together and went to check if she had made any gains in her "fence".

Carefully wading through the knee-deep water, Su Qingluan looked inside the fence, and her eyes lit up.

Perhaps God saw that Su Qingluan was in a bad mood just now, so in order to comfort her, in addition to a few small fish that were no bigger than a palm, there was also a carp in the fence that was longer than an adult's forearm!

Although this size wasn't particularly outstanding, it was still a surprise compared to the palm-sized fish Su Qingluan had often encountered. She didn't care whether she was lonely or not. She quickly jumped to the opening, slightly brought the two sides of the "人" together, and blocked the exit herself, fearing that the fish would escape.

"It would be great if there was a scoop net..." Su Qingluan muttered, but she also understood where the scoop net was now, so she could only catch fish with her bare hands.

"Come here!"

"Okay, I don't believe I can't catch it!"

"Hey! You dare to run!"

Su Qingluan was busy battling with the fish, and the sound of water was so loud that she didn't hear the dull and slow "gurgling" sound coming closer from the river bank.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Qingluan was soaked from head to toe, like a drowned rat. Her carefully tied buns and the wild flower hair accessories she had painstakingly arranged were now in tatters, and her coarse cloth skirt was clinging to her body.

The thirteen-year-old girl didn't have any curves that would inspire imagination, but the layers of cloth stuck to her made it very inconvenient for her to move.

But she finally got something - the fish that was still struggling desperately, which she held tightly in her arms.

In fact, according to Su Qingluan's original personality, she would probably take off her wet coat and wrap the fish with it. In this way, the wet cloth would be sticky and could prevent the fish from escaping while keeping it alive for a long time.

But Su Qingluan finally did not forget that she had come to a feudal dynasty.

Even though the people of Huaxi Village are simple and relatively open-minded, and do not have so many cumbersome formalities of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, a teenage girl walking around the streets wearing only underwear, just to catch fish, probably will not face good consequences.

Just because she disagrees with or doesn't care about something doesn't mean she will deliberately try to stop it with a vengeance. After all, there's no need to do so.

So she endured the discomfort of her wet clothes sticking to her body and walked towards the shore with the fish in her arms.

The water under her feet was flowing fast. Although it was not deep, Su Qingluan still took one step deep and one step shallow, staring at the water surface intently, for fear of stepping on empty air.

However, even though she was so careful, she still slipped slightly when she was getting ashore. Although she stood up immediately, the strength in her hands relaxed for a moment, which gave the big fish a chance to escape, and it tried to "escape" with a somersault.
